Jessica Kelso

I made it through the weekend.

It’s only Monday and I’m already looking forward to my next days off. Saturday we spent most of the day in Orlando helping our friends, Cassie and Richard, move into their new house. I was amazed by the fact that we were able to pack their entire house in ONE truck. It blows my mind. Cassie’s dad kept taking boxes from me, saying they were too heavy. . . but I insisted on helping as much as possible. I wish I would have listened. . . because Sunday I woke up incredibly sore. I mean, slow-as-a-turtle, moans-and-groans sore. I should listen to other people when it comes to what I can carry, since I like to think I’m the strongest human alive.

After deciding the pain wasn’t going to stop me about halfway through the day, we decided to make our way to T-Mobile to pick up our new G1 phones! Christmas came a little early in the Kelso house. Normally I’m the one who hates waiting for things, but this time it was Kevin. As much as he’s given in to me, how could I not give in to this? It was our main present to each other. Aren’t they pretty? I never knew a phone could offer as much as these little guys do. I’m so careful with it too. I’m sure within a couple of weeks, it’ll have scratches and dents from being dropped but as of now it’s being treated right. I sold my old phone tonight for $60! Can’t beat that. I love Craigslist. Just when I think about putting things in the closet or even the garbage, I remember Craigslist and almost always end up making a little bit of money.

Sunday night we played some Christmas tunes and put up our new tree. Last year we had a real tree that was full and beautiful. This year we decided to have a smaller, cheaper, EASIER tree. I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but I do! I love it. It’s such a perfect size for the room. I just love the way the light looks with the fireplace going and the Christmas tree lights turned on. It’s my favorite thing ever!
